Towards a Hybrid Audio Coder
نویسنده
چکیده
The main features of a novel approach for audio signal encoding are described. The approach combines non-linear transform coding and structured approximation techniques, together with hybrid modeling of the signal class under consideration. Essentially, several different components of the signal are estimated and transform coded using an appropriately chosen orthonormal basis. Different models and estimation procedures are discussed, and numerical results are provided.

A bitstream scalable audio coder using a hybrid WLPC-wavelet representation
In this paper, we present a novel bitstream scalable audio coder. In the proposed coder, the full bandwidth of input audio is first split into two. A hybrid WLPC–wavelet representation is used to encode the low frequency components ( 11 kHz). In this method, the excitation to the WLPC synthesis filter is decomposed into subbands using a wavelet filterbank, and perceptually encoded. Two stage qu...
متن کاملSoftware Audio Codec for Interactive Television
The paper describes requirements, concept and general structure of audio compression scheme employed in interactive television iTVP project. A perceptual coder based on a psychoacoustic model and spatio-temporal signal decomposition using a hybrid filterbank is proposed. The coder structure is derived from standard MPEG L3 technique. Some ideas for improving the performance at low bit rates are...
متن کاملA Nearly-transparent Low Delay Audio Coder
Nowadays, it does not exist an audio coding standard for getting nearly-transparent quality with low delay. The standard ISO-MPEG is profusely used in audio for getting high quality [1]. It uses a perceptual model that requires high frequency precision and introduces high delay. However, in applications where the delay is a critical parameter, e.g. when is important to use a feedback channel, t...
متن کاملUnified Filter Bank for ISO/IEC MPEG-I Layer III Audio Coder
The Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-1 audio compression algorithm is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for high fidelity audio compression. MPEG-1 provides three layers, with increasing degree of complexity of implementation and quality of compression. Layer I uses a 32 sub-band filter bank for decomposing the input signal into sub-sampled spectral components,...
متن کاملPerceptual Coding of Audio Using Signal - AdaptiveFilterbanks
This thesis studies the application of signal-adaptive lter banks in perceptual coding of audio with an emphasis on Wavelet Filter Banks (WFB). It provides an overview of perceptual coding of audio, the motivating psychoacoustic principles, transforms and wavelet theory. Additionally, di erent existing wavelets-based audio coding schemes are presented. The aim of most of the schemes is to overc...
